THE BLIYD , a year momora- ! hie alike for the commencement of that struggle by which we were enabled to ; throw off the yoke of British tyranny, and for the difficulties experienced by the 1 emigrant in his efforts to subdue the hith- I crto impenetrable and inhospitable region of Kentucky, the Boonsborough Fort was j erected on the south bank of the river, as : a defence against the incursions of the northern Indians who were jealous of the whites, justly fearing that the hunting grounds purchased by flic blood of their fathers would be torn from them, that farms would he erected upon their graves, and they themselves hunted down like beasts ol the forest, and compelled to seek other homes, lor several years after its erec tion the outrages perpetrated indicated that it was their determination to destroy the different stations and thus prevent ihe fur ther settlement of the country. Among other settlements Boonsborough suffered ; severely, having withstood a siege of nine days, carried on by a superior force of French and Indians. Our story com- menees immediately after the siege when the garrison was much weakened in point 1 of numbers—when it was dangerous to appear outside the picketing, as the sava | ges were concealed in the neighboring j thickets, always ready to lire on those \\ ho were so hardy as to appear, or so un fortunate as to be thrown in their way. The early settlers of Kentucky were composed of emigrants principally from V irginia and North Carolina—men who with their families had left their native : firesides and sought a home in a wild and unsettled country, with its attendant toils, privations and dangers, which were of no j ordinary character—a race of men who ; arc fast passing away. They were brave | and energetic—fearless of danger—their | best friend was their rifle, as it was their i constant companion for years both in the ; field and chase, while not unfrequcntly the forest was their couch, with no covcr , ing save the vaulted heavens above. Cal culating selfishness (the usual consequence of merging from a forest to a refined state of life) is not one of the traits of charac ter transmitted by them to their posterity. Brave and magnanimous on the field of : battle—courteous and hospitable at home, , the Kcntuckinn of the present day fullv , maintains the reputation of his ancestors | for all that is great, noble and good. I Although sixty-eight years have passed i away since its erection, there still may be . seen a small log building on the right of i the road leading from the village of Rich mond to the ferry at Boonsborough—half ; a mile from the latter place. Its dilapidat -1 ed appearance, crumbling stone chimney | and moss-covered roof, indicate it to have ! been the residence of one of the pioneers !of the country —and such it was. But | everything immediately about it—the fal . lon trees—the luxuriant undergrowth, and • the numberless briar bushes, tell of its de sertion and neglect—while the bleating of the sheep and the lowing of the cattle as i they feed upon the rich fields of clover in 1 the distance—the running to and fro of men in the corn and harvest field, bespeak the activity of the hand of improvement. I Years ago and this was the habitation of John Cameron—a native of South Caroli i na—but of Scotch descent. Among the ; first emigrants who had settled in Ken tucky, he assisted in building the fort, but , shortly after its completion, being weary of the restraint attendant upon the number j of families living within the enclosure, de termined to make a " clearing" and erect ; a cabin at a short distance from the fort, ' so that in case of disturbance he might 1 retire to it for protection. During its in vestment by the French and Indians he [ sought refuge in it, and from some cause ! or other his improvements escaped the in cendiary torch of the besiegers, so that upon the retirement of the main body he ; again ventured out, notwithstanding the ! advice of those who were well acquainted with their treachery. The Cameron family consisted of the father, mother, son and daughter. A suc cession of misfortunes had induced them to leave their native State and brave the dangers of a pioneer life with the hope of being able in course of time to retrieve the past. Though in moderate circumstances, their hospitality drew around their fireside the best society of the neighborhood, while not a few were attracted by the charms of i the daughter Edith, as lovely a girl as sported in all the buoyancy of youth upon ] the banks of the glassy Pcdce. A love for our native land is common to ! all—but by none is an absence from it j more poignantly felt than by the young ! and inexperienced. Home! happy home! j away lrom it wc are constantly wandering in imagination to the spot most dear to us ' , on earth—memory paints to us in vivid ! colors the scenes of youth—the rocks— j the blue hills, and the forest around the ; place of our birth. Days of our youth ! j days o! innocence and delight which pass oil' as sweetly as the dew from the leaf under the warming influence of May day sun—when past they never can be recalled —and then, only then do we realize the | truth ol the destiny of the boy in the fable j who wandered front home in search of , contentment—when in reality he had left up on his own native hearth that for which he had exiled himself. An anticipated de parture from childhood's abode is scarcely less painful than the reality. The eyes of 1 Edith Cameron filled with tears as she j seated herself at the foot of the hillock from which issued the stream of water whence she was accustomed to draw the daily supply. The next day's rising sun ' would behold her preparing to leave those scenes where she had spent the happiest period of life—perhaps never to revisit them. The rippling brook—its bank 3 be decked with sweetest flowers, and the moss-covered arbor under which she dc- , lighted to seat herself at the hour of twi- j light and weave those webs of anticipation so delightful to the imagination of youth j —Mvoiild be left behind. The clear star- j light of a southern sky flashing through ! the dense forest, and the music of the woodlark, would be remembered only with the past. With such anticipations as these, need we say that the girl wept tears of re • gret ( Edith's companion (for she had one) was a youth some twenty-two years of ago—of robust frame—the image of | licult h and manly vigor. From earliest infancy they had been associates—had at tended the same school and read from the same book—he had been her defender from the rudeness of the other boys, and in turn for his gallantry he was always per mitted to attend her to her father's gate on their return from school. Their friend ship as they grew older ripened into love —hut never until the evening referred to had William Ilcrvey ventured to speak of the secrets of his heart. The moon was high in the heavens ere they parted that night. What passed between them need scarcely he told—they were affianced— vows were plighted before heaven—and he was to follow the Cameron family to the wilds of Kentucky in the course of the succeeding spring. An interval of a few months must be passed over. The family arrived safely at theirnew home—improvements were made —and the arrival of young Ilervey expected, lie at length made his appearance, and again there was rejoicing under the humble roof of the settlers—though in the midst of dan ger, and every moment liable to an attack from their enemies. Late in autumn the marriage of llervcy and Edith was to be I celebrated. The appointed day rolled round—the company assembled, and the blazing of the huge maple and hickory wood tire, as it retlected its light upon the rude ceiling, imparted an air of comfort to the well filled building. The bride arrayed in virgin white, leaning upon the arm of the groom, made her appearance—silence prevailed—the aged minister, his hair sil vered by the frosts of many winters, ap proached and began the ceremony which was to unite the young and happy couple in bonds to he severed only by death, when yells fierce and terrific were heard without. A moment more, and a score of disguised demons forced the door—but the astonish ment and awe into which those within the house were thrown gave way, and their assailants were met at the threshold with a determination not anticipated by the swarthy band. The females retired" to an inner room for protection while the men defended the doors. As the entrance to the house was narrow, the whites had the advantage, although in point of number they were less than the Indians. Warrior alter warrior fell back dead upon those in the rear until the Indian force was much weakened. For hours the strife continued with unabated fury—hope on the part of the whites had almost lied, when suddenly the Indians retired from the contest, and ! left them in possession of the house. The whole party (now weakened by the loss of three of the stoutest hearts that ever beat) again assembled to finish the ceremony which was interrupted before its conclu sion, and to consult as to the future. Hav ing determined to abandon the place and retire to the fort, they were upon the eve of doing so when their foes returned to the assault with renewed energy—and with more success. In the thickest of the fight appeared a tall warrior, towering above the rest—he seemed to be the leader of the band. Brandishing his hatchet he made his way into the midst of the whites, and seizing the almost inanimate form of Edith, bore her in his arms to the door in safety. A scream of misery and despair burst from the lips of the groom and his friends, when it was perceived that he had gained the open space, as they knew it would be mad ness to tire upon the savage protected as | lie was by his senseless burden. Followed , by the rest of his band, the warrior disap peared in the recesses of the forest. Pursuit was determined upon. Kein lbrced by a j)arty from the fort, the younger Cameron and Ilcrvcy, within half an hour niter the retreat of the savages, were upon thfeir trail. For nearly twenty-four hours the Indians did not venture to delay a mo ment, knowing that instant pursuit would be made. Upon the evening after the bat tle the pursuers caught a glimpse of their foes as they were ascending a hill some half mile distant from them. They wisely determined not to risk an engagement until night, when by stratagem they might be able to succeed with less danger to them selves. The Indians halted at dark, but as if anticipating an attack their fires were ex tinguished in the gloom. The night was dark and stormy —the moon failed to shed its rieh and genial influence over the scene —and the winds whistled the forest fear fully. No bird of omen warbled its mournful notes in token of its loneliness— not even the murmur of a distant waterfall as it fell from rock to rock from the moun tain's top was heard—the wind alone broke the stillness of nature. The darkness prevented them from making an attempt (as was first agreed on) to rescue the pris oner—it was determined to await the first dawn of day and make the onset while they were yet sleeping. The whites were nine in number—while the Indian force amounted to fourteen. The Indians did not take the precaution to bind closely their prisoner, so that upon the first discharge ot the rifles of the pur suers she was enabled to disengage herself from the chords with which she was bound, but before she had gained her feet her cap tor stood over her, brandishing a war club which he had snatched from the hand of another as he was rising from the ground. Instantly the keen eve of llervey recog nized the savage, and levelling his gun lie iVew Scries—Vol. 4-Ko. 41. fired. The ball pierced the Indian's fore head, who leaped from the ground and fell dead. In quick and rapid succession the rest of the party fired again and again, until the Indians perceiving their dimin ished number made a hasty retreat, leaving behind their guns and other instruments of death. Infuriated at the cruelty of the savages the whites pursued them for miles : two fell from fatigue and were despatched by the hatchet, while the third, desperate from the numerous wounds received, com ing to the Licking, where the banks are high and abrupt, determined to sacrifice himself rather than to fall under the knife of the white man, and precipitated himself into the bounding stream and perished be neath its waves. Thus died the last of the band of the brave but cruel chieftain Ivi-o da-go. The party returned from the pursuit without an accident. Ilcrvey and his wife, after the cessation of hostilities and the death of their parents, which occurred shortly afterward, removed some distance into the country from the river, and but a few years have elapsed since they yielded up in peace their spirit to God. Their descendants arc numerous, and to this day do they recount to their children the scenes of the " Bridal Eve." This is but one of the incidents with which the " Dark and Bloody Ground" is rife. Scarcely a clearing there but had its legend. At our day it is dilTieult to believe all the perils to which our fathers were subjected; or the privations which tlie mothers and daughters of Kentucky en dured. die uwo t i n t , NEW LEGAL AUTHORITIES. —In a case which was tried in one of our justice's courts, some rather novel authorities were brought forward by one of the learned counsel. " The Court will observe," said he, " that in the case of Shylock vs. Antonio, though judgement was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, yet circumstances pre vented the execution which had been issued from being carried into effect." " What case did the Court understand the gentleman to refer to ?" asked the magistrate, slightly puzzled. u Shylock vs. Antonio, 2d Shaks. 235, Johnson's edition. The case reported in full. The next authority is of rather more ancient date. It is the case of the King vs. Shadrac et al., Ist Daniel's Reports, p. 155." The learned counsel went on to apply the case to that of his client, but whether the Court considered the authority sufficient, we have not yet learned.—N. O. Picayune.
